Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Russell Brand's tour dates postponed following sexual assault allegations
Caption: Russell Brand's tour dates postponed following sexual assault allegations. On Saturday, the British comedian was accused of rape and sexual assault by four women in a bombshell newspaper article and documentary and London's Metropolitan Police announced on Monday that they received a report of alleged assault against Brand on Sunday. Brand continued with his Bipolarisation U.K. tour after the news broke on Saturday, performing at the Wembley Park Theatre in London. However, the tour promoter announced on Monday that the rest of his live shows had been postponed. Brand was due to perform in Windsor on Tuesday night, followed by Plymouth on 22 September and Wolverhampton on 28 September. In addition, a YouTube spokesperson announced that they have suspended monetisation on Brand's channel, meaning he won't be able to make money from the advertising on his videos. ”If a creator's off-platform behaviour harms our users, employees or ecosystem, we take action," the spokesperson said on Tuesday adding that they have suspended the 48-year-old for "violating" its "creator responsibility policy”. Meanwhile, the Get Him to the Greek actor, who has become an online guru in recent years, did not host his traditional weekly live show on the video platform Rumble on Monday. In a pre-emptive video released on Friday, Brand denied all the allegations against him, insisting that his relationships were "absolutely always consensual”.
